A CSIRO study of the quality of air inside the typical Australian home has not revealed any nasty surprises.
Commissioned by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, the study is the most comprehensive examination to date of air pollutants in Australian houses.
Project leaders Dr Melita Keywood and Ian Galbally from CSIRO's Marine and Atmospheric Research say the results are very much a reflection of the way Australians live – how we cook and warm the home, the cleaning agents we use, building materials and finishes in the home, and the proximity to roadways and parklands.
"There are currently no guidelines for indoor air quality in Australia so we set out to establish a benchmark against which future changes in the mix of chemicals and pollutants can be measured," Dr Keywood said.
